Description

Is it possible to connect to a telnet server that has no username/password ? I couldn't find a way to do so - I've tried blank/blank, nil/nil or .login with no arguments but obviously it failed.

Research direction

Start by reading the net-telnet connection and login API, then reproduce the reported case against a telnet server that requires neither username nor password. Check how blank/blank, nil/nil, and login with no arguments are handled; done means documenting or supporting a successful unauthenticated connection with coverage for that behavior.
